Beyond Paris

Explore the origins and evolution of an iconic design movement at Beyond Paris on Saturday, January 18, at The Wolfsonian–FIU. This engaging talk, presented as part of Art Deco Weekend in collaboration with the Miami Design Preservation League, delves into the global impact of the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, where Art Deco was born.

The Wolfsonian's chief curator, Silvia Barisione, will guide attendees through the stylistic journey of Art Deco, highlighting its defining geometric forms, symmetry and sleek aesthetics. Drawing from the museum’s extensive collection, the presentation will showcase how the movement evolved as it spread worldwide, adopting unique regional influences along the way.
